Yeah thats what i thought at first, but having to give them my CVV (only used for security verification during transactions) and my Pin no is very dodgy they would technically be able to use my details to buy stuff.

I can send you a nice email in html mike telling you how im backed by the SAS, barclays bank, and the Prime minister doesnt mean i am though. (incidently i am though)

Imagine if they turned that scam into a virus and send to people's address books... and it spoofed the senders address in the message so it looked like people were getting cash sent from their friends.

Anyone with half a brain would know not to enter data into a form on an email... more importantly to enter their credit card information ANYWHERE they didn't trust. People that fall victim to this type of scam deserve what they get. It's a valuable lesson.

A bit harsh as there are just some really trusting people out there, who may have just discovered paypal and think this is a similar thing. People dont deserve to be the victim of crime no matter how stupid they are!!
